Chapter 547 Sunday Picnic

Chapter 547 Sunday Picnic

After getting ready, Rudy, Rebecca, and Jessica prepared to leave for the picnic, but when they walked out, they saw Elena standing there in the corner, squirming.
Seemingly, she had come to visit them but wasn't sure if she should. Or perhaps, she was embarrassed to meet Rudy. Regardless, they saw her, and she had no idea about it as she was focused on herself.
"..."
Rudy glanced at Jessica and signaled her to go to Elena and surprise her, but it didn't go well.
When Jessica approached Elena and called her name, she jolted and ended up hitting her head on the wall she was hiding behind. Fortunately, it was simply a mere bump and nothing serious.
After realizing she had been caught, she stood in front of Rudy and fidgeted with a flushed face.
"What are you doing here?" Rudy asked curiously.
"I was… here for home checking…" Elena responded while averting her gaze.
"What's that?"
"Teachers… come to their student's houses to check how they are doing at… home…"
"I see. And they do that on Sundays?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.
"..."
Of course, Rudy knew Elena was lying, but he wanted her to confess the real reason she was there.
"I came here to meet… Jessica." She took a deep breath to clear her mind and asked, "Are you going somewhere?"
"Yes! We are going on a picnic!" Jessica said while jumping.
"Pic… nic?" Elena turned to Rudy and asked, "Where are you going?"
"To the next city. We will go ride a bus and take a long route to enjoy the countryside scenery. Then, we will eat the lunch Rebecca has prepared and later watch the movie in the theater. After that, we will go to the water park they like. And at last, go to the mall to do some shopping and return before the sun has set."
"It seems you will be busy for the day…" Elena muttered.
"Yes."
"I see… well… I will go home then…" she said with a gloomy face.
"Actually… Looking after two kids is too much work. So why don't you come with me to watch over Jessica?" Rudy suggested while holding his grin.
"Are you… sure?" Elena glanced at Rebecca, and she didn't seem to be against it. But Jessica, for some reason, while squinting her eyes at Elena.
"Jessica? You don't want her to come with us?" Rudy asked her?"
Jessica puffed her cheeks and said, "I will have to behave well in front of her…."
"You don't have to."
"..." Elena shot a weird glare at Rudy after hearing that.
"I mean, you have to behave well. But you don't have to worry about behaving well. Elena is not coming with us as a teacher, she is coming as our… friend," Rudy calmly explained.
Rudy wasn't sure if he should tell Rebecca and Jessica about his relationship with Elena.
'Would they even understand anything?' he thought.
But most importantly, he wasn't sure what his relationship with Elena was. They went on a date and, in the end, confessed their feelings before moving their relationship forward. But neither of them had asked either of them out. However, they were indeed lovers.
Elena didn't seem to have any idea about it, so it was up to Rudy to bring that up in a natural way. Regardless, Elena had promised to be with Rudy forever, so there was no rush.
Rudy wanted to give some time to Elena to think about herself and her relationship. After all, he was serious about his relationship with Elena.
"I can come with you if you don't mind…"
Thus, they all went on a picnic together and did what Rudy had said to Elena. They also got to see the beautiful sunset by the seaside while they were on their way back by traveling on a bus.
Rudy loved the scene so much that he took a picture and set it as his wallpaper. Moreover, Rudy finally bought a feature phone and got himself a new sim. He also bought one for the house so Jessica and Rebecca could call him when they needed him if he was away for some reason.
Since it was night and too late to make dinner, they all ate out and parted ways. But Rudy wanted to drop Elena at her house, although she said she was fine as it wasn't as dark as it was the other day.
However, Rudy first took the girls to their house and then went to Elena's house. On their way, Elena eventually realized what Rudy was implying, and her face flushed as they walked the rest of the way.
After reaching her home, they went to Elena's room, and Rudy returned home after an hour and a half after playing on her bed.
The next day, when Rudy went to drop off Jessica at her school, Elena was at the school's gate as usual, but she avoided eye contact with Rudy as it was too embarrassing for her.
They didn't talk on that day, even when Rudy came to pick Jessica up. Since Rudy had decided to give some time to Elena, he couldn't complain. But even on the next day, Elena acted the same.
Rudy thought she would get used to it on the third date, but it passed the same way. Three days passed without them kissing, touching, or, let alone, talking to each other.
Rudy was a little annoyed as Elena ran away whenever he tried to talk with her. And to teach her a lesson, he went to her house at night after eating dinner and knocked on her door.
Elena was, of course, surprised to see Rudy there, but she invited him in. They went to her room and talked. Sure, Rudy only went there to talk, but things escalated, and they ended up doing much more than talking.
Turned out that the school had a strict rule about faculties, where they weren't allowed to be in a relationship with their student's parents. Unless they were in a relationship prior to that, otherwise.
